I STILL DREAM OF ORGONON

Off to Minnesota

Where, as noted several times, I’ll be the Substitute Guest of Honor at Minicon 46. Come by! We’ll be having good, old-fashioned geeky fun. I’ll be sad if you’re not there. People will come up to me, concerned, asking why I am so inconsolable and weepy. And I’ll say, “Why, it’s because [insert your name here] is not here with us, to enjoy our festivities.” And they’ll say “Yes. It is sad that [insert your name here] could not be here. Now there is a pall upon all our revelries.” And we will all weep anew.

So be there, damn it.

Anyway. Off to catch flights, will be busy through the weekend, updates here will be brief, check the Twitter feed to keep up with me, etc, you know the drill. Will be back here in full force on Monday. Also, if it applies to you, have a happy Easter weekend (and if it doesn’t, have a good weekend anyway).

Wish I could be there. Our area got hit with thunderstorms for two days in a row! Ugh! Makes me want to escape my soggy surroundings and find something fun to get into. Don’t cry for me Arge- urr- John. Have fun despite my absence.

Louise – I will put you on the announcement list for the Mad Science Con I’m trying to get organized, if we can ever pry the con committee loose from the giant mutant salamander overlord that Dr Bubbles created yesterday in the lab.

I will be there, by gum. If you happen not to see me, I’ll just be in the other room. Or I’ll have nipped out for a sandwich. Or I’ll have just dashed off for a quick kip in my luxuriously appointed hotel room. I will not let the fact that I’m in Melbourne, Australia, keep me from being there. Honest. True as I’m riding this bicycle.

A good weekend? I plan on starting my Friday by telling my wife that her van still isn’t fixed because some of the bolts are missing thanks to the idiots at the shop who originally tore the motor apart.
